I love this place at any time of year. The visitors center is small but comprehensive and the staff…read moreare very helpful, I would advise popping in here when you arrive to get a walks leaflet or to ask the staff about which is the best way to go. Situated on the recovered Newport-Monmouth canal you can walk southwards through woodland towards Bettws and Newport (there is a two hour circular walk here coming back through the golf course) or take the canal side path northwards and carry on for as long as you like towards Monmouth! Both routes have great views over Newport and good wildlife, last time there I saw a kingfisher. Free parking at the canal center, toilets and cafe.

The visitor centre is a bit hard to find and not advertised as much as some other local tourist…read moredays out but it is a great day out. There is a lovely shop selling baskets made on the site they are a little bit pricey but seeing as they are made in the uk not imported from china I did not mind spending the money on one. They also sell willow to make your own baskets and garden structures (this is a bit big to take home if you are on holiday). They also make willow coffins! There is also a museum full of baskets, a video about the reed beds, a coffee/lunch shop and an exhibition about the Levels and Moors. After you have looked round all this you can go on a walk around the reed beds and get scared by the cows. The walk could be better sign posted but is worth the effort it does include quite a steep climb at the end so be warned. We had a picnic on the walk which was lovely. It is free to visit but closed on Sundays.

The Rest House can be found in the heart of Bournville Village Green. Whenever I go past the…read morevisitor centre, it's usually looked/been closed. Only on a couple of occasions have I managed to get inside, so I'm not entirely sure when this monument's opening times are! Once you do finally get into the grand piece of architecture, you are met by displays on every wall, which provide information about the Cadbury family (and the history of the Quakers). It's truly interested knowledge that's definitely worth a read! The building is as beautiful inside as it is out, with information carved into the walls, such as 'John Junior Cadbury 1906-2006' (I still can't believe he lived to be a hundred!) As well as the historical elements to this visitor centre, the shop also sells gifts such as jewellery, pens, wooden carved mushrooms and wooden carved owls. There's also a lot of replicated equipment from the Quaker period, such as old knifes and tea strainers. The Rest House is a great place to get a quick insight into Cadbury's, or to buy a present for someone. It is definitely a place I recommend visiting.

This is such a beautiful building and it really does remind me that Bournville is a Quaker village…read more It is beautifully placed on Bournville Green, which makes is look tranquil and very peaceful. Inside they have lots of history information about Bournville as a Quaker village and also lots of information about Cadbury's World, which I suppose is expected as it is such a short distance away. They also sell a few gifts and souvenirs inside, which is good for tourists and those who have not been to Bournville before. Even if you do not go into the centre, it is a lovely place to just go and sit near and relax and take in the loveliness of the green and the surroundings as Bournville is such a lovely part of Birmingham.

Situated right in the heart of the Brecon Beacons' glorious countryside, this is a reasonably sized…read morevisitor centre. Turning left (northbound) from the main road through the park, you cross over between two reservoirs and find yourself in a wooded area with pine needles strewn across the floor. The Visitor Centre offers good information on the geography, history and wildlife found in the park, and is a great place to bring children. This is a popular place for tourism and school trips: so be warned. Perhaps go on a week day. But all the attention means that the staff really know their stuff. Any question on the park should be met with good answers. They also have a good amount of information of activities, events and walks that can be experienced, and also about the Taff Trail and camping grounds. There is a small tearoom and several gift items to purchase. Perhaps this visitor centre isn't worth the drive by itself, but it's a great springboard into the rest of the park. Stop here before you start you major explorations.

OK so this is not really a review of the Town Council itself (of course not!) but of this beautiful…read morebuilding labeled as Marlborough Town Council and the beautiful little town and the High Street in which the building finds itself which is full of charming (many bespoke) little shops and stores - plus restaurants, pubs and coffee shops. A wonderful place to visit on a lazy Sunday (or any other lazy day I guess). Step back in time, relax and enjoy! There is plenty of parking on both sides of the street and in the middle of the street - despite this be prepared to circle a couple of times before you find a spot. I think it is pay and display during the week but free on Sundays. Definitely worth a visit if you are anywhere close - and may I suggest Rick Stein (see my review) for lunch or dinner!!

The centre has clean toilet facilities and a very welcoming cafe with a limited menu selection but all reasonably priced.

Ideal for keen walkers, dog owners and lots of little trails for kids.

It is a pity that punctuation errors appear quite often in the text. Creative use is made of limited space and the fishing and shipbuilding past of the town is well presented. It would have been nice if the branch railway had also been covered as it played a big part in the resort's development. Definitely worth seeing if you are in this part of Dorset.

I bought my flight to India last year with Co-op Travel... they were amazing! I normally buy all of…read moremy flights over the internet, but called into the Co-op on a whim one day, just to see how competitive they could be... I had no intention of booking a flight through them at the time. I'm pretty well versed in buying flights off the internet on the cheap and so I guessed that you'd be expected to pay a hefty premium for using the Co-op... surely manning an office on the high street, where business rates are exceptionally high, would mean that their service couldn't compete with a dingy office in the middle of nowhere, that only has an internet presence...? But I was really surprised! Not only did they take away all of the hours of infuriating web-searches that I would have had to put myself through, but the price of the ticket was the cheapest that I'd seen. The person serving me was a woman in her forties, and with plenty of experience under her belt, she made light work of the process. I bought my ticket there and then... I'd have been foolish not to!
